What is T.A.B. ?
Since 2018 Simle Middle School art department has initiated a new curriculum.
The curriculum is called T.A.B. (Teaching Artistic Behaviors). This is a centers-based curriculum that allows each student to customize their art experience. Essentially turning our art classrooms into working artist studios and every student into an artist in that studio. Each student then drives their individualized learning, with the direction of the teacher, through mini lessons and conferencing. This learning will culminate with two exhibitions. For more information on the T.A.B. curriculum we have listed our sources for this new adventure: Engaging Learners through Artmaking: Choice-Based Art Education in the Classroom (TAB) 2nd Edition (Douglas & Jaquith, 2018) |
